The PERFECT Road Trip Snack

We got on road trips frequently and I am always in charge of packing the snacks.  

Kevin takes care of the navigation and accommodations.  

We make a pretty good team.

I just discovered the perfect road trip candy and had to share them

- Starburst MINIS unwrapped!!

You can find them in traditional colors, but since I really only like the pinks I went with the FaveREDs version.  They are about half the size of regular Starburst, but you don't have to unwrap a single bite.  You also don't have to deal with all those wrappers from the full size candies filling up your car.  Win-win!

Pretty Typical Snack List:

Cooler w/ water bottles, cokes for Kev and a sippy of milk for Olive.

Peanut butter pretzels

Chex mix

Wheat Thins

sugary treats - Starburst, sour watermelon or gummy bears

Blow pops

precut fruit or veggies

cheese sticks 

Beef jerky for my hubby
granola bars

graham crackers/teddy graham/cookie

Snacks for Olive:

Fruit puree pouches

Goldfish crackers and cheerios  

pretzel sticks

A few other road trip snack tips:

I bring grocery sacks for trash cans and make sure to empty the trash out of the car at each stop we make.  It really helps to keep the car organized.  I also pack napkins, chip clips, rubber bands and ziploc bags for anything messy.  It takes just a second to throw these things in and really helps keep you food organized.

What do you bring along on road trips??

I hope you have a great rest of the week!  We are going to enjoy a little family Spring Break for the rest of the week so it'll be pretty quiet here on the ole blog.
